A few Minor Problems, Help Please!
I have a 93 R1(90k miles, Manual), and it's having some small mechanical issues. Now before I start, I have checked through plenty of threads on this forum and after becoming frustrated, decided to post my own - so here goes.
Idle
My car has stalled a couple of times, never when its cold, and typically when its been running for a little while. It usually happens when I engage the clutch and put it into neutral, or 1st/2nd. It's happened once when I was at a red light, once in my driveway, and once when I was coming off the Interstate. It only started acting this way here in the past couple of weeks and has always run fine other than this. Any ideas? I know it could be a lot of different things - but it sounds to me like a fuel issue, I just don't know where to start in searching for it.
Coolant Sensor
The coolant sensor is always going off, with that emminating 'beeeeeeeeeeeeep'. I have a full tank of coolant, so I imagine the sensor is bad. Where is it, and what do I need to do in order to fix it?
Fuel Filter
This might have something to do with the stalling problems - but I contacted the original owner a few nights ago and he suggested that he doesn't remember the last time the fuel filter was changed, only that it was. Is there a good place I could order one online, instead of having to pay the ridiculous $100+ for one from a dealer? Something some of you guys trust and use.
I appreciate all of you who to reply to this - you'll be doing me a huge favor. Thanks.

If it runs fine at open throttle but stalls at idle it probably is not your fuel filter. I would change it anyway since you don't know how many miles are on it but don't look to that to solve your problem. Rotary Performance has them for $25.00.

Most likely, the clutch switch. Check this thread:

If the coolant is not near the top of the filler neck, then that's the problem (and may be a much bigger problem).
If coolant is at near the top of the filler neck, check to make sure the wire is not damaged to the level sensor. The level sensor is on the front of the t-stat housing below the filler neck cap.
